I don't remember exactly where I found all the info on code 017. I do know that my 80SC original color code plate is 017. The 912 Registry does list 017 Burgunrott as a standard 912 color for 68-69 and a special order color for 66-69. Perhaps my SC's original owner really liked the old 60's 912 color and special ordered it from Porsche in metallic! Stranger things have happened in Stuttgart!!
